A Gay Party at the Bridge.

The fifteenth annual excursion of the
Pennsylvania Editorial Association had
for it's objective point this year the Natur-
al Bridge of Virginia. The sacred band
numbered about one hundred souls. A
merrier, happier thu ong of big hearted men
and fair women never traversed the beau
tiful Valley of the Shenandoah or mingled
the music of laughter with the rush OF the
mountain streams. Age was no barrier to
endowment The dignity of position was
at discount. The first draught OF noun
tain air sent the warm blood bounding
through the veins, and simple human ma
ture asserted itself. The members OF the
party came to the Old Dominion for recre-
alton, and royalty was their purpose exc
cuted.
Tuesday afternoon the special train drew
up at Natural Bridge Station. and was
greeted by a thunder storm. Nevertheless
it was jolly ride to the hotel, where
hearty welcome awaited them, and the
round of four days pleasure commenced.
The splendid drives about the place, the
varying wonders of the bridge itself, pre-
senting as it does new aspect from every
point of view: the shaded walks that tray
erse scenes of rugged grandeur and seem
to penetrate the very mountain heart, were
all avaiIed of to the utmost to fill the hours
of sunshine, whilst at night Emusic and
dancing mingled with social converse,
rounded out the day of pleasure, and made
refreshing sleep thrice welcome.
Friday evening the Annual Banquet was
held in the large dining room OF Forest
Inn A rich menu had been provided ty
Manager Klipstein, and between the pop
ping of the champagne were five minutes
responses to the toasts proposed by Senator
Cooper, the President of the Association.
This part of the programme would have
driven the blues from an indigo casket.-
Every attempted flight of oratory was clip
ped at the start by acold, sarcastic remark
or disturbing intersection, that set the ia
bic in an uproar and tloored the orator.
The fun continued for nearly three hours,
and the guests were then invited to wit
ness an illumination of the Bridge, a scene
of magnificent grandeur impossible to de-
scribe.
The party left the Bridge on Saturday
morning, stopping at Luray to view the
Caverns, and thence proceeding homeward.
They left behind them scores of friends in
old Virginia, to whom the memory OF their
visit will prove one of the happiest of re-
collections of the summer of 81.
The Bridge has never been more attrac
tive than it is this season. The splendid
buildings are now ready for the inflow of
visitors, and under the management of that
model hotel man, Mr.. B. w. Klipstein,
with Charlie Nair as steward, there is no.
thing wanting to make this the favorite of
all the Virginia resorts.
Some Of our olderpeOple about town will
be interested to know that Patrick O'Con-
ner, the former gardener at the Asylum,
IS now in charge of the horticultural de-
partment at the Bridge. and boasts gar
den that is II credit even to his well earned
remit NJ ion.
